Application filed'February 11, 1913.

To all whom it may concern Be it-known that I, MTTCHAEL J. GREEN, a citizen of the United States, residing at Rockford, in the county of Winnebago and State: of Illinois, have invented certain new and. useful Improvements in Gas Heating Appliances, of which the following is a specification.

The, object of this invention is to construct the burners. of a gasstove of a simple construction and few parts, and whereby the burners may be removed from. the stove without theappliance of tools or of removing 1 bolts or-screws, in order that theburners may be cleaned.

The further object is in the formationand location of the several parts, that is, the gas-manifold, valves and. detachable burners so th-atthe same are thoroughly accessible to. repair and adjustment.

The, further object is to furnish with a burner ofthis type, :a pilot light tolight the main burners.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is an end elevation of a gas stove showing my. improved burners applied thereto, a portion'of one of the burners being broken away. Fig. 2 :is a face view of the portion of the stove containing the burners. Fig. 3

is aventica'l section through one of the burnis an enlarged sectional detail view of. a

burner head taken on theline 6-6 of Fig. 3.

The burners and gas manifold :may be appliedto any form of gas heating stove, having here shown them as applied to the end of-a stove formed with theend wall 7 and the heating compartment 8 positioned justbelow the-topplate 9 of the stove. The gas-intake manifold 10. hasthe brackets 11 formed integral. therewith bolted to the end wall 7. A pilot header 12 in the form of a pipe located within the heating compart- 1116I1t'8, lying parallel with the gasmanifold and for-med with a plurality of jets 13 therein, has a pipe connect-ion 1 'I communicating with thecentral portion thereof, and which pipe connection extends to the front of the stove having a common type of air intake valve 15 connected therewith. The opening 31 in thefrontof the stove allows a match 7 Specification 10f Letters Patent.

to be inserted to light the pilot lighter. The

[gas manifold 10' has connection with said valve 15 by the pipe connection 16 there lbeing a stop coc'k 17 located on the connection 16 to control the supply of gas going receives gas independently from the gas- -manifo'l-d.' As eachburner is of a similar construction I will describe in detail the con struction and operation of butone of the burners nearestthe front of the stove, which descriptionwill'of course apply-to all the burners. The plate '18, a portion of the stove structure, secured to the .end wall 7 has open1ngs19- therein through which the burner heads are inserted. The burner body is fo-rmed of a vertical flue pipe 20, ClIClllill at the top, and formed with .a recess 1n 1ts underside having at one side thereof a stud 221, which whenthe burner is placed with the recess in connection with plate 18, holds the burner in position, and secured by-bolts 22 to .theburner body is the burner head 23 1 whose sides convcngeto an opening 24, there I being a screening 25 interposed between the burner, head and body. he lower end 27 of the burner flue is enlarged to form a suitable air-intake.

' A common form of adjustable needle valve 26 for admitting gas to the burner flue is located :at the air-intake of the flue and receives its supply of gas through the pipe connection 28' which communicates with the gas-manifold 10, there being a stop cook 29 located on said connection to regulate the supply of gas from the gas-manifold to the burner, said stop cock being operated by the handle 30 at-the front of. the stov The stop cocks 29 of the several connections are positioned at various distances from the gasmanifold, as it is seen in Fig. 1, in order that their handle controls at the front of the stove may be operated without conflicting.

The operation of the burners is as follows :-W ith a supply of gas to the gasmanifold, the stop cock 17 is opened, thereby allowing gas to pass to the pilot head charged with .airfrom the air intake 15, and the gas issuing from jets 13 may be lighted by inserting a lighted match through opening .81 adjacent the pilot, thus giving a plurality, of pilot lights throughout the length oftheheader 12. Gas is then admitted to the burners by turning handles 30 of the several burners which open the stop-cocks 29 allowing the gas to pass from the gasmanifold through connections 28 and escape through the needle valves 26, at which points the charges are mixed with air and pass through the fines 20, being discharged at burner head openings 24 and ignited by the pilot flames.

W hen in use it is often desired to operate the stove at short intervals of time and not to keep the main burners lighted continuously, resulting in the waste of gas. Thus I provide the pilot header extending adjacent the openings of all the burner heads to ignite same when desired, and it will be seen that by the use of the individual burners with independent gas controls, that the heating capacity can be limited according to the amount of heat required, that is, by using only the required number of burners. Furthermore, because of the novel construction and arrangement of the manifold and burners, each burner can be removed bodily without removing any parts or requiring the use of tools by simply lifting the burner from its engagement with the plate 18 and witheasily cleaned then and also with the burners removed, the gas connections and manifold are left thoroughly accessible.
